BT is hiking its line rental by 30 pence a month from £13.60 to £13.90 on 28 April. This works out at £167 a year.
But if you have a BT line (all but those with cable or Kingston COMMS)you can now nearly halve it.
Until 4 April, Primus' new Line Rental Saver - via website HomePhoneChoices - is £6.79 per month.
There are however no inclusive calls, so it is best for low users.
Alternatively, its Home Phone Saver -also via HomePhoneChoices - is £7.99 per month with inclusive evening and weekend landline calls, up to a maximum of 90 minutes.
However, if you prefer to stick with BT, its Line Rental Saver is £120 for a year upfront, the equivalent of £10 per month, including weekend calls.
